AWAITING THEIR DOOM.
The Anarchists Lose Hope-Precautious
Taken by the Authorities.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Moses solomon, one
of the counsel for the anarchists, tele
graphed his clients from Washington last
evening, that there was little hope that 4
writ of error would he granted by The Su
preme Court and that the whole matter
would come back to the State to rest with
the governor. There was Il very blue
time around the county jail when this news
was received The seven men held con
terence as soon as they were liberated, and
seemed to feel more depressed than any
time since they were incarcerated. Parsons
afterward admitted to reporter that
SOlomon's despatch had almost destroyed
their last hope, and they were ready for
anything now.
Nina Van IPndt was present when tue
news came. Spies told her the contents of
the message.
"Well, if you die" said Nina, you will
not die alone. | will 20 into the grave
with you"
Lingg shed tears, and the wife of Engel,
who was present, was almost prostrated
by the news.
Public apprehension at the approach of
the anarchists execution has caused an
addition OF six extra officers to the cen.
tral detective force. a number of officers
have been detailed by each city station to
watch the movements of suspected an
arChists. No society of secret motives
can hold a meeting without quota of
police agents present. The heads OF the
departments claim to be thoroughly in
formed of the cOmings and goinGS of
every group and individual anarchist in
the city.

Preserving the Manure.

From the Phlladelphla RccOrd.I
There is annually large waste of the
valuable properties of manure, and the
rivers carry to the sea much of the wealth
of the land Manure is really the true
wealth of the country, for it contains
within Itself all the essential elements
that produce the crops that serve a5 tOod,
and many of the raw materials that enter
into manufactures. Every ounce OF II that
is saved is so much wealth retained Tor
use mt another time, and the saving of the
manure is the most important matter on
the farm. The fertiliztng properties OF
manure are lost in many ways. Ihe rains
carry off the soluble ingredients rs fast as
decomposition changes the solids, while
the winds, III evapOrating the moisture,
also take away portions of the volatile
ure he sheltered from the wind,
and rain, but it must be managed
in manner so as to prevent loss ol
volatile matter, ms the gases generated
are sometimes the most valuable portions.
The manure heap is really laboratory,
ard the farmer a chemist, even though
his knowledge of chemistry may be limit
ed OF the fact that manure can be bene-
flied and made more valuable ali farmers
are familiar for by using absurOents they
know that the essential elements are

in its preservation, as no two manure
heaps are alike. The volatile matter can

Valuable Suggc stions for Practical Farm
ers.

Contributions on all subjects in this depart
meut that would be of general interest to
farmers are solicited. Farmers are also reques-
ted to use these columns or exchange Of OK
pcrience and questions
The following is extracted from cor
respondence of the Farm journal. One
acre of turnips will equal 10 OF grass for
sheep. Hurdle or pull as wanted Four
bushels chopped to 100 sheep is proper
feed. If lambs are kept, wean at four
months and put dams on short dry feed a
few days to stop milk. Turn the lambs
into the second growth clover and give
bran every morning. Grain the sheep
lightly on pasture as soon as milk Is dry
Grain pays better then until winter than
any other time. 1t is an essential. Glover
pasture is best for sheep. To enrich pas
lures as you feed, give oil-cake, peas,
beans or bran. Three weeks before put
ting to the buck increase artificial food.
Oats, oilcake, or cracked corn at the
rate of half pound per eve, given
at night, will increase fecundity and
sheep at night will also hasten this
work. After taking the buck the feed
should be such only as to keep it in good
condition. The ram should be fed one
pint of corn daily, during the period of
action, to get healthy lambs. The change
to winter feed and to grain should be
gradual. Allow them to run, if pasture
permits, until snow comes Feed hay in
the rack in the fall. After heavy frosts
the pasture loses much nutriment and
should be filled out by artificial food
small quantity, make up the loss and pre-
pare for winter treatment.

Must Wives Fight"
Chicago Journal.

The Court of Appeals of Kentucky
seems to have peculiar ideas CT the mat
rimonial duty. man was convicted of
manslaughter for causing the death OF
his wife. Il arpesred that the two mad
Quarreled one winter night, and the nus
band, after having threatened 70 kill the
wife, went for knife to put his threat
into execution. Upon this the woman
fed from the house and died IN the snow
from exposure.
The trial Judge charged the Jury that
il the woman fed through fear of death
or great bodily naTm at the hands OF ner
husband and died from exposure, he was
crminally liable for her death. The
Court of Appeals reversed the case on
the ground that the jury, before convic-
ton, should have been required TO find
that wife's fear was we'll grounded and
reasonable. It appears that the basis of
this legal hair-sphtting was the fact that
the W fe had once whipped her husband,
and was, therefore, presumably able TO
take care of herself.
There is neither good law nor good
sense in such a decision. Even II the
woman were the equal of the man under
ordinary circumstances, his possession
of a deadly weapon pl ced her st great
disadvantage IN the combat. physica.
athlete unarmed might well fy from }
physical pigmy who rad possession of Z
knife or pistol, and his fear would De s
reasonable enc. But, worse than this.
the Kentucky court decides in effect that
it is the duty of the wife to stay N
the house, even ct the risk Of
lighting an enraged husband armed
with butcher knife. Other
wise why need the jury inquire whether
her fear was well grounded or rot: Sure
" the most that can be required of q wife
is to get out OF the way of a husband who
is trying to murder her, and if death in
some other form overtakes her in her
flight there should be no ifs or snds abou.
the husbands criminal responsibility.
Il is such decisions as this that brig
the courts into disrepute, and infame 81
outraged public sentiment into the iDfiC
ton Of capital punishment without ne
Intervention Of judge or jury.
